I don't want to spoil the party for the Dons but Jack Billings has nominated.

Poor old Billings.

I know he was a number 3 pick and he went before Bont so that came with lots of pressure.

Surely he would be better than a heap of spuds that would be currently on AFL lists.

For instance Port you can play Watkins or Billings who you going to choose?

He probably won’t get picked up but I hope he does.

 

[TasSixer]

I think Mitch Mellis from the Swans VFL team should get picked up. Been playing really well, I hope the Swans open up a spot to get him but they probably won't.

Is there history of players being picked up in the MSD and debuting a few days later in that same round?

Yep happens regularly.
